Charting the 'Black Atlantic' (1997)
This text is a "mapping" of Black Atlantic theories, focusing particularly on texts by Caribbean writers and theorists Derek Walcott and Edouard Glissant, French philosophers Deleuze and Guattari, and post-colonial theorists Homi Bahba and Frantz Fanon. Baucom focuses on the idea of "submarinarity," drawing on the language and imagery of cartography to extend analysis on the cultural unity of the sea as conceptualized by Black Atlantic theory.
